Looking to up your skincare game? Elemis is known for its viral must-haves and super effective formulas that work for all skin types, which is why, here at Your Dream Bag, we’re big fans. We’ve put together a list of our absolute favourite Elemis products, covering every part of the perfect skincare routine, so keep reading to find out more.
You’ll thank us for these…
After a long day, there is nothing quite like finally removing your makeup with ease, which is why you need a good cleanser. Even if you don’t wear makeup, cleansing your face helps to remove dirt and impurities, leaving your skin fresh, clean and feeling lovely. Yes please!
You’ve probably seen some of your favourite influencers and celebs using the Elemis cleansing balm, and that’s for a good reason. This best-seller literally melts away makeup and dirt while soothing and hydrating.
Standout ingredients: Rose wax, mimosa wax, elderberry oil, starflower oil and Optimega™oil.
If you prefer a gel cleanser, this will be right up your street. The Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser is all about banishing the day’s impurities and keeping your skin’s moisture.
If you have oily skin, this formula is fab as it reduces oil and takes your skin from dull to glowy with one use. If you feel like you need to revive your skin after the day, this is the cleanser for you.
Standout ingredients: Succinic acid, ferulic acid, lactic acid, Padina Pavonica, magnesium, zinc and copper.
This is great paired with the cleanser above to help restore the texture of your skin and remove dead skin cells. It leaves your skin softer and smoother, keeping it healthy and creating the best base for makeup if you wear it.
A lot of exfoliators are harsh on the skin and use microbeads, which are bad for the environment, too. This is lovely and gentle, using cellulose beads, sustainably sourced from spruce trees instead. Use two to three times a week to get the full effect.
Standout ingredients: Elderberry oil, starflower oil, Optimega™oil, and Padina Pavonica.
When we’re feeling rundown, a good night’s sleep can do the world of good – this fast-absorbing formula is like that for your facial skin. It ensures that the rest of your skincare absorbs properly, plumping the skin with ease, and yes, it will give you that dewy look you’ve been dreaming about.
Your skin’s elasticity needs this essence, and we have to mention that it’s clinically proven to double the skin’s moisture content.
Standout ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, Padina Pavonica, and sea spring water (magnesium aspartate, zinc and copper gluconate).
Applying a toner every morning and then before bed balances and hydrates your facial skin. The Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner does this by ‘harmonising’ the skin and locking in moisture.
It’s perfect for sensitive skin because, as the name suggests, it naturally soothes the skin so if your skin’s been going through it, this formula is a winner. We love that you can also spritz this on your face to give it a refresh during the day.
Standout ingredients: Apricot (fatty acids and vitamins A, B and C), sweet betty flower and saponins from Quillaja wood
This serum is formulated to tackle fine lines and discolouration. It’s seriously impressive how this makes your skin look so much healthier and firm without being sticky or heavy.
When you add it into your daily routine, you’ll be saying buh-bye to dry skin and visible pores, plus it’s a lifesaver if you have any sun damage. If using a retinol just isn’t working for you, this is a fab alternative.
Standout ingredients: Stevia extract with Galactomannanas from Alfalfa, red microalgae, and Padina Pavonica.
The skin around your eyes requires a gentler, lighter cream as it’s much more delicate, which is why this dreamy formula is just what you need. Not only does it moisturise and restore, it also helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Running on only five hours of sleep? No problem, this eye cream has you covered.
Other common issues like puffiness and dryness under the eyes and on the eyelids can all be combatted with this cream, plus it sits beautifully under makeup.
Standout ingredients: Hawthorn & Arabian jasmine flower essence, upcycled elderflower extract, Japanese Artemisia Capillaris, and Padina Pavonica.
Greens are good for the body and that includes your skin. This nourishing formula has nine antioxidant-rich oils plus other ‘superfood’ ingredients, all carefully chosen to boost your natural glow and renew the skin’s appearance.
If you want a radiant look and smooth facial texture, we recommend this facial oil for everyday use – seriously, you won’t regret it.
Standout ingredients: Flax seed oil, Daikon radish, and cucumber oil.
A true OG, this silky cream will leave your skin deeply moisturised and soft to the touch. It also firms while still being gentle with your skin tissue. We’re obsessed with the glow it gives too.
An added bonus is that this formula includes SPF 30. Wearing SPF every day (and sun cream on sunny days) is an important skincare step, protecting your skin from sun damage. As this sits nicely under your makeup, we love the inclusion of SPF protection.
Standout ingredients: Padina Pavonica, Chlorella (amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids), and Ginkgo Biloba.
To really improve your complexion and give it some TLC, we recommend using this face mask one to two times a week. Use it as a mid-week pick-me-up or the cherry on top of a little at-home pamper session.
It tones and hydrates, with your skin feeling lovely and supple after consistent use. We love how refreshing this feels, plus how long the instant moisturisation lasts.
Standout ingredients: Adaptogenic Noni, Moringa & Argan tree oil, and Padina Pavonica.
Some skincare is made to be used every day, and that consistency is part of the formula’s magic, but others won’t require as much use to get the job done. For example, most face masks are to be used once or twice a week.
Make sure to check the ‘how to use’ label on each product to determine if it’s for the morning or evening and whether it should be part of your daily or weekly routine.
As a beloved, award-winning brand, Elemis is sold from a plethora of retailers, including Space NK, John Lewis, Boots, and Cult Beauty. You can also buy from the Elemis website directly.
